"I am the most abundant protein in mammals; Triple helical in structure, with distinct types; Predominantly composed of glycine and proline; I give strength, support and shape to tissues." What am I?
M. A. A. Al- Fatlawi
One of the most predominant proteins is called collagen. Collagen is the main component of connective tissue, and is the most abundant protein in mammals, making up about 25% to 35% of the whole-body protein content @ Adejoh Idakwoji

The answer is indeed collagen, derived from the two Greeks words Kolla=glue and Gen=producin. It’s made up of about 30 -35% of body’s total protei.
